Heading into the final race, Hanover IN's Joey Kramer has locked up the 2005 NARA Battle of the Bluegrass Open Wheel Modified Points Championship, but the battle for second will go right down to the final lap as Justin Rattliff and Kelly Warren are currently at a deadlock for the bridesmaid position.
